Iran won’t reverse N-plan, may delay

In an interview, Rohani repeatedly said that Iran would not change its mind about restarting a plant in the city of Isfahan that converts raw uranium into a gas that can be used to feed nuclear power plants or make atomic bombs.

He added, however, that such a step would not lead automatically to the next and most critical stage of the nuclear fuel process—the enrichment of uranium. He said the only area for discussion at talks with Foreign Ministers of Britain, France and Germany in Paris on May 23 were the timing of a resumption and the conditions, including inspections. ‘‘There are no other issues negotiable,’’ he said. —Reuters
